FOUNDATION RAISES FUNDS WITH ‘SMILES FOR LIFE’
The Pasadena Community Council of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is partnering with Temple City Dental Care and dentist Jack Von Bulow, whose practice is donating 100% of proceeds from teeth-whitening services to charity.
Instead of charging a fee, now through June, the “Smiles for Life” campaign asks for a $225 donation to the Smiles for Life Foundation in exchange for professional “take home” teeth whitening, a $600 value. Half of the donations go to the Los Angeles Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and half to a variety of children’s charities nationwide.
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation was founded by parents of Type 1 diabetics (also called juvenile diabetes), an autoimmune disease affecting 3 million Americans, most often striking during childhood, and unrelated to diet or obesity, as is the more common Type 2 form. Last year alone, the foundation raised more than $125 million for diabetes-related research.
A brief appointment is all that is required to begin teeth whitening, which starts with an exam by the doctor to ensure you are a good candidate for the whitening. Von Bulow can be reached at (626) 285-3161. For more information about the foundation, or the Pasadena Area Community Council of the foundation, call (213) 233-9903.
